Led by four members of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame and two memebers of the Atlantic Coast Conference’s prestigious 50th anniversary team, the ACC announced the 2013 Class of Legends for its ninth Annual Dr Pepper Football Championship Game, which will be played in Charlotte, N.C., on Dec 7.

Esiason and Kinard were chosen in 2003 to be members of the ACC’s 50th Anniversary team, which honored the 50 best players of the league’s first 50 years, while Kinard, Scott, Little and Majors are members of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.

The Legends will be honored during this year’s Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game weekend. They will be honored at the ACC Night of Legends sponsored by the Belk Bowl on Friday, Dec. 6, and on Dec. 7, during ceremonies at Bank of America Stadium for the ninth Annual Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship, which will be nationally televised with either a 7:45 pm (ESPN) or 8 p.m. (ABC) kickoff.

Tickets for the Night of Legends are priced at $85 each and are available at the following link:

The group of 15 former gridiron standouts from current ACC schools includes a former ACC Football Player of the Year; 10 former All-Americas, including six first-team All-America honorees; and 12 players who combined for 97 years in the NFL. Twelve of the Legends were drafted into the NFL, including six first- or second-round draft choices.

In all, the collection of players combined for two national championships, five ACC Championships and one Super Bowl title.
